Makoon has been released into the wild.
In March, the baby bear cub was found abandoned on the side of a Manitoba highway.
Good Samaritans took the cub home and Winnipegers took him into their hearts.
When provincial officials announced that Makoon would be returned to the wild, many people expressed outrage saying the cub wouldn’t survive.
Makoon was quietly released Tuesday night, back into a Manitoba forest.
